Everyone on the field collapsed to the ground, barely breathing.
Most of them were barely clinging to life.
Ning Qing stopped in front of the general, who was in much better condition than the others.
Of course, this is also because Ning Qing did not kill him.
Ning Qing looked down at him from her high vantage point.
"Speak, who are you? Why did you send someone into the palace to assassinate the emperor?"
The general had a gloomy face.
"Hmph, I only regret that I couldn't kill him today."
Speaking of this, I can't help but think that the people I've carefully trained for so many years couldn't even kill the young emperor, and were completely wiped out!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face darkened even more.
Ning Qing didn't want to waste words with him, so she cut off two of his fingers.
The person on the ground cried out in pain, glaring angrily at Ning Qing, their eyes filled with intense hatred and rage.
"You think you can make me submit by cutting off two of my fingers? You underestimate me."
Ning Qing's lips curved slightly, revealing a charming smile.
"Really? What if I do this?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, which was actually taken out of his spatial storage.
The bottle I just took out was given to Ma Feng, and now I'm taking this one out of my spatial storage.
She had plenty of these strange and unusual medicines in her space.
Ning Qing gently uncorked the bottle with her fingertips and poured the powder onto his wound.
In no time at all.
The man rolled on the ground, his body covered in cold sweat.
Ning Qing stared at him coldly for a while before speaking slowly.
"So? Do you want to say it now?"
The man endured the pain and itching, and squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
"You...you can forget about it..."
Ning Qing snorted coldly.
"You think I wouldn't know just because you didn't tell me? I'm just too lazy to look it up."
Ning Qing: Little cat, give me this person's identity information.
System: Host, this person is a general who was sent to the western frontier 10 years ago.
He was the regent's younger brother, and the two brothers had a very good relationship.
Ning Qing: I see! This is because they heard the news of the Regent's disappearance.
They rushed back from the frontier.
It took 15 days to ride horses from the frontier, with little time to rest in between.
Ning Qing took out a rope from her spatial storage and tied the person on the ground into a human-shaped rice dumpling.
He glanced back at the people on the ground; they were already lifeless.
Ning Qing carried the human-shaped rice dumpling on her shoulder, and with a light tap of her toes, leaped onto the roof.
They sped off towards the imperial palace.
System: Host, this person wants to kill the protected target to avenge his regent.
Why didn't you just kill him with a single sword strike? Why did you carry him back?
Ning Qing curled her lips into a smile.
Why did she carry him back? Of course, she had her own reasons.
I used too much force today and knocked her unconscious. I need to make sure my wife is well taken care of.
And the person on your shoulder is a very useful tool.
I'm sure my wife will love this gift!
Before long, Ning Qing returned to the palace.
Ma Feng and his guards were deeply impressed by Ning Qing's superb martial arts skills today.
When everyone saw him return, their eyes lit up.
Ma Feng strode forward to meet them. If Ning Qing hadn't intervened tonight, they didn't know if they would have been able to take down the group of assassins.
"Young master, you're back."
Ning Qing nodded and tossed the human-shaped rice dumpling from his shoulder to Ma Feng.
He left behind only a faint sentence.
"This person is the mastermind behind tonight's assassins."
